Atomically Precise Molecules (APM)
Solicitation # DARPA-PS-26-141
The Atomically Precise Molecules (APM) program, solicitation DARPA-PS-26-141, is a 36-month initiative by the DARPA Multi X Office seeking innovative synthesis techniques for programmable precision polymers (PPPs) and nonlinear optical (NLO) materials. The program aims to develop scalable materials with strictly controlled monomer sequences and compositions, culminating in a prototype NLO material integrated into a government-provided electro-optic modulator capable of achieving greater than 1THz modulation. The effort is structured in two phases, with Phase I lasting 12 months and focusing on synthesis capabilities. Research limited to inorganic materials or incremental improvements to existing state-of-the-art practices is specifically excluded. Awards will be issued as Other Transaction for Prototype Agreements, with payments processed through the Wide Area Workflow system based on a schedule of milestones. Proposals are due by December 18, 2026, via the Broad Agency Announcement Tool and must include technical, management, and pricing volumes. Eligibility is restricted to U.S. organizations, and all performers must comply with CMMC Level 2 self-certification and NIST SP 800-171 standards for safeguarding Controlled Unclassified Information. Evaluation will be based on technical approach, relevance to the DARPA mission, budget realism, and the capability to transition the technology to military or commercial sectors.

Request for Proposal (RFP) - Resilient Missile Warning Tracking (RMWT) Low Earth Orbit (LEO) Ground Entry Points (GEPs)
Solicitation # FA240126R0003
The Space Development Agency is soliciting proposals under solicitation FA240126R0003 for the Resilient Missile Warning Tracking Low Earth Orbit Ground Entry Points effort. This acquisition is structured as an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity contract with a ceiling of 369 million dollars, covering the development, integration, test, operations, and maintenance of Tranche 3 Ground Entry Points at multiple globally dispersed locations. The scope of work encompasses civil engineering from detailed design through construction, the procurement and installation of communications shelters, antennas, optical terminals, and networking equipment, as well as the development of Ground Support Equipment and Auxiliary Development Units. The contract includes an ordering period from March 31, 2027, to September 30, 2031, with option periods extending through September 30, 2035. Award will be determined using a best value tradeoff process where technical, management, and past performance factors are combined and considered significantly more important than price. The technical evaluation focuses on the understanding of requirements, feasibility of approach, and scalability, while management is assessed based on project and schedule management, subcontractor oversight, and security handling. Proposals must be submitted in seven volumes via the DoD Secure Access File Exchange by 4:00 PM Eastern Time on November 23, 2026. Large business primes are required to meet a minimum quantitative requirement of 5 percent small business participation. The contract utilizes a mix of Firm Fixed Price for primary labor and materials and Cost Reimbursable arrangements for other direct costs and travel.

Pioneering Aerospace Capabilities, Engineering and Research
Solicitation # FA2391-23-S-2403
The Pioneering Aerospace Capabilities, Engineering and Research (PACER) program, under solicitation FA2391-23-S-2403, is a comprehensive Broad Agency Announcement issued by the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) Aerospace Systems Directorate. This open, two-step solicitation is designed to fund research and development efforts that mature novel aerospace concepts and technologies to appropriate technology readiness levels, specifically targeting transformative capabilities for the warfighter. The program encompasses a wide array of specialized calls, including efforts for hypersonic weapon concepts (HAMWC), automated air-to-air refueling (CRONUS), advanced propulsion and power systems (SNAPP, AEPO, MSIPPT, HITEMP, INNATE), and multidisciplinary design and structures (MASTR, VOLARE, CC DROIDS). The acquisition process typically involves an initial white paper submission followed by full proposals from selected offerors, though some calls utilize a one-step process. Awards may take the form of contracts or assistance instruments, with anticipated types including Cost Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF), Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP), and IDIQ task orders. Due to the sensitive nature of the research, strict security protocols are enforced, requiring offerors to comply with AFRLI 61-113 for Science and Technology Protection and meet CMMC Level 2 and NIST SP 800-171 standards to access Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). Proposals are evaluated based on the uniqueness and innovation of the approach, understanding of scope, technical soundness, and transition potential, with cost realism serving as a secondary substantial factor.

AI Contract Overview

Show more

NASA Armstrong Flight Research Center intends to sole-source a contract to Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station for the design, delivery, and integration of subsystems for the GOSWIFT system, which aims to conduct a flight test campaign centered on adaptive geometries and LIDAR sensing. The contractor will provide end-to-end engineering support across the lifecycle, including submitting design packages and hardware for review and flight, participating in engineering reviews as a subject matter expert, and performing post-flight analysis to document performance, extract lessons learned, and produce publicly releasable reports. The acquisition will be conducted under FAR Part 12 as a commercial product or service, with sole-source justification based on FAR 6.103-1 due to the unique expertise currently held by Texas A&M in ongoing supersonic flight test design and planning. Interested parties may submit their capabilities by the deadline of May 6, 2026, at 11:00 AM PDT to the designated points of contact for evaluation only, to determine if a competitive approach is warranted, though the government retains full discretion to proceed without competition. The solicitation number is 80AFRC26SS016, and the NASA Clause 1852.215-84, Ombudsman, applies for any concerns regarding the procurement process.

National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) / Armstrong Flight Research Center (AFRC) has a requirement for design, delivery, and integration of subsystem products for the Geometry Optimization and Sensing with Integration and Flight Test (GOSWIFT) system, culminating in a flight test campaign. The contractor will provide engineering expertise throughout the engineering lifecycle, including the following:


  • Deliver designs for review and hardware for implementation and flight test,
  • Provide subject matter expertise through engineering reviews, and
  • Conduct an investigation of the flight test performance with data analyses, lessons-learned, and publicly releasable documentation of test results.


NASA/AFRC intends to award a sole-source contract to Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, which is currently providing a supersonic flight test design study and planning for adaptive geometries and LIDAR, under the authority of FAR 6.103-1 Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy the agency requirements.  



The Government intends to acquire a commercial product or service using FAR Part 12.



Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform the effort electronically via email to Jenni Schnarr at contact@example.gov and Tanjanica Jackson at contact@example.gov not later than 11:00 AM PDT (Pacific Daylight Time) on Wednesday, May 6, 2026.
